Dealt to Detroit The Lions acquired Benson via a trade with the Broncos on Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Benson put together a solid preseason in Denver, including a 4/36/2 performance versus the Vikings. However, the Broncos already boast one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the league, so a trade to Detroit's relatively thin positional group makes sense. In addition to acting as a depth receiver, Benson could contribute in the kick return game.

Surprise longshot has starred in Denver's loaded WR corps
Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater know that whichever one wins Denver’s starting quarterback job will have what could be the NFL’s deepest wide receiving corpsAUGUST 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores twice in preseason opener Benson caught all four of his targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 33-6 win over Minnesota.
Impact Benson's visits to the end zone in Denver's first preseason game came from both Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater, as the two quarterbacks continue to compete for the starting job. The 24-year-old is having himself a solid training camp, and his improved route running may be paying off. Entering Saturday's contest, Benson was competing for a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster in an already crowded receiver room headlined by the likes of Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Tim Patrick. However, it's plausible to think that the wideout may have caught the eye of the coaching staff enough to earn him a spot as a depth piece for the Denver offense. Even if that were so, Benson's forecast for consistent involvement in the offense is grim, which keeps him far off the fantasy radar.

Agrees to future contract The Broncos signed Benson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Impact Benson has yet to play an NFL game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019. The 23-year-old wideout likely will need to show out on special teams to secure a roster spot in 2021.

Cut loose by Denver The Broncos waived Benson on Saturday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Benson initially inked with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, but the team's crowded wideout room now leaves him without a spot. He could be a candidate to once again latch on to Denver's practice squad.
